Roman Peregrino 5th reflection

Today we learned a lot about different science subjects.  One cool story I learned about today is how scientists are attempting to bring back the passenger pigeon.  The curator of ornithology and mammology, Jack Dumbacher, told my group how scientists are using the genomes of certain specimens, chiefly of the band tailed pigeon, to see with what species, the passenger pigeon could be brought back.  Another cool thing we learned about was how, in connection with the first point, scientists are attempting to repopulate the Galapagos mockingbirds.  This effort was fueled largely by Cal Academy, because they were able to save those birds from their expedition.
